Egluntyne Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Bit of a flurry here again tonight. Didn't last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Wahey! We had some snow overnight and it has just started snowing again! Only a little bit so far.......but enough to cover up the mud (doesn't disguise the fact that I've only painted a couple of panels of the fence though!)! Took a photo at 6.30 this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Well, we have quite a lot by SE standards. About 2-3 inches! It would be today that DD1 is travelling to Bristol and DH has to drive to Heathrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 We have only had a bit! Enough for little chicken footprints though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) We have had about 1.5 inches - not enough to make a big difference, but enough for the garden to look gorgeous,if a bit churned up after Millie went out! It is noticeably warmer too, so I don't think it will last too long, which is a pity. My best friend & her family are emigrating to Australia today, so I just hope that they don't have too many delays from heathrow Edited January 24, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) We have about an inch and a half - but don't think it will last too long, although we are meant to get more snow this afternoon. This was at 7.30 Edited January 24, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner.girl Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 WE HAVE SNOW! Quite a lot! And i got so excited i thought i'd overslept and wondered why the alarm hadn't gone off, and then realised i had a later start today! The girls are so funny with the snow! Snowdrop quite brave though and walked, half flew accross the garden to the patio where i was where there was less snow, Bluebell gingerly picked her way through and Daisy who is the oldest and (suposedly) bravest stood on the one piece of un-snowy ground near the eglu and squarked at me accross the garden - she was so funny - she was not having any of it! Have taken some pics of all the animals in the snow this morning which you can see if you want to here - http://s132.photobucket.com/albums/q25/Gooner-girl/ (excuse the state of the chickens they got covered in tar - see the 'bluebells back' thread... ) This is Bluebell...

Popcorn Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Got snow in Leicester too. Stefan's never seen the snow before The sun is shining beautifully now though and from my office window on the 8th floor it looks so pretty down there.

gooner.girl Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Just been out to vaseline the girls combs and give them some warm porridge! After all, it is snowing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 It was snowing at 4am this morning and we had about an inch when I got up at 6.30. Biscuit wass squeaking because he'd never seen snow before Rosie and I were running around the garden in our dressing gowns and wellies when we let the chooks into the run. It's all melting now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannie Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 We've got snow too, even in inner London! There was maybe an inch, although its melting already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 We had some very fine snow land at about 0100 this morning but by the time I got up this morning at 0800 it hadn't stuck around A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 We're you hoping to get snowed in Andrew and have a duvet day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 It's melting quickly here, but only in the sun so the ambient temperature can't be too high. They're predicting more later this afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Isn't it fun to watch the cat with first snow experience Clare I have a wonderful pic of Tink when he first saw snow he is pushing his front paws through it and the expression on his face is priceless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Snow in Kent too . Not a lot (but we're only just Kent, not deepest, darkest rural Kent ), but it did look pretty this morning. Only problem was son who got distracted by the snow whilst doing his paper round, ended up in snowball fights with fellow paperboys (and girls) and got home too late for his school bus Muggins here had to drive him to school this morning, and I really, really could have done without it Immi let the birds out whilst I was haring off on the school run, and by the time I got back she was laughing her socks off at them mincing around trying not to step in the snow. She took some pics, so I'll take a look later and if there's any good ones I'll post them on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard T Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Well, we're in a deeper, darker and ruraller part of Kent than Kate A. And we're about 600 feet up on the North Downs. And ..... not a sausage. Not one fluffy flake did fall on our English country garden at our Kent country cottage. Even the ice on the water peanut was a pathetic excuse for ice. It cracked under a stern glare. I know it would cause us all sorts of problems with getting to work, but WE WANT SNOW!!! We'd even be happy with a heavy frost, especially if there was a clear sky and a bright moon. That would look really good. (OK. I know it's impractical, but we both lean more towards the romantic than the practical.) But anyway, after we'd driven a few miles up the M20 towards London, we found ourselves in a winter wonderland. There had been quite a decent amount of snow between Maidstone and London - enough to make everywhere look like a Dickensian Christmas scene, but not enough to affect our journey too much. I wonder what this afternoon and evening will bring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 More snow in the south-east predicted tonight and tomorrow, maybe 15cms. But it will all be gone on Friday Just in time for the weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
